What’s that smell?
Our strongest sense is our sense of smell. Certain smells can remind us of past situations. They can also have therapeutic effects. Some scents relax, or motivate or even have physical health benefits. A dog’s sense of smell is over 1,000 times stronger than ours. Using aromatherapy for your dogs can be a safe and effective way to promote either physical or mental healing for your best friend. Essential oils are extracted from a variety of plants, flowers, stems, roots, leaves or bark. Each oil, aside from it’s great smell, has properties that will benefit you and your dog.

Home Alone
We have been working with Wrigley to let him not be crated while we are not home. A few months ago we would not have left him out of his crate unsupervised.
The Holistic Guide For a Healthy Dog – Book Review
I, Jenn have taken over Wrigley’s blog to let his readers know about a book I just finished. The book is called Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog by Wendy Volhard & Kerry Brown (affiliate link).

These and more conditions can also be … this spot continues
